Ngaa mihi nui ki a koutou. Warm greetings to you all and welcome back for Term 4.

Term 4 brings a special type of energy, everyone has a bit of a spring in their step and the tamariki are in a settled, happy place. There are many events to look forward to also in the term with the much anticipated Puaawai Production, Athletics, Orini Fun Day, Book Week, Greats and Grands Day, Kaakano 2 sleepover, Year 3 and 4 Camp, Student Led Conferences, P.T.A Disco, Christmas Picnic and our End of Year Prizegivings. It’s a busy term that flies by quickly. 

On Tuesday, a very successful Ag day was run. Thank you so much to the team of parents who organised this, as well as Christine Jeffery our office manager for all her work to make this day so successful. Seeing the students leading, calling and talking about how have raised their animals showed how much effort and time they all put into their animals in preparation for this event. Well done to all the competitors and their animals. 

This term, along with all of the events, our teaching team will be completing more assessments with the tamariki and bringing all the assessment information together to make an Overall Teacher Judgement on where each child is succeeding within the Curriculum. These decisions will be reflected in the End of Year written report which will go home at the end of the year. Our Student Led Conferences will be a chance for you to see how your child has been tracking with their progress also. 

So, we look forward to seeing you all at all the events this term! 

Kia pai too raa. Have a good day.
